 Berc Ketchian's Pera Palace Melody
There she sits in the lobby waiting. Waiting for who or what. Can you guess why this beautiful red haired woman is in the lobby of the Pera Palace Hotel? Write what you thoughts are in our blog.
Pera Palace Hotel, was home to many firsts. It was the first and only building
with electricity other than Ottoman Palaces. The first electric elevator was
also in Pera Palace Hotel. British writer Daniel Farson described this elevator
in these words: “It is the most beautiful elevator in the world made of cast
iron and wood. This elevator ascends like a lady who curtsies. Tourists can not
take their eyes off this utterly pretty and aristocrat elevator.” Bathrooms that
provided the only running hot water in the city were also privileges available
only to the hotel guests. High ceiling spacious rooms lit by magnificent
chandeliers were never empty and were host to many unforgettable tea and dance
parties.
Pera Palace
Hotel, that has been a significant symbol of the urban culture of İstanbul for
over a hundred years, was also the proud and silent witness of many historical
events such as World War I, Occupation of Istanbul, Turkish War of Independence,
founding of the Turkish Republic and World War II.
